DINNER

Charlotte’s Golden Cauliflower & Lentil Salad

Recipe: Charlotte Lange @greenerandglowing

Ingredients (2-3 serves)

  • 1 small cauliflower, cut into florets, tossed with…
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp turmeric, ½ tsp smoked paprika, salt & pepper (for roasting the cauliflower)
  • 1 red capsicum, sliced
  • 1 cup cooked lentils (I like to use beluga, but any lentils work)
  • 2 handfuls rocket and spinach, or any fresh local leafy greens
  • Small handful coriander (or dill or parsley)
  • 1–2 tbsp capers, 1–2 tbsp olives
  • 2 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds + 2 tbsp local macadamias
  • 1 tbsp currants or 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Instructions:

Dressing: Lightly toss: 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (ACV) + 1 tbsp olive/avocado oil + pinch salt

Tahini drizzle: 2 tbsp tahini + juice of ½ lemon + 1 small garlic clove + water (option add a few drops of maple syrup to round it out)

Roast spiced cauliflower and capsicum together at 200°C for ~25 min. Toss warm veg with lentils, greens, herbs, capers and olives plus the light dressing. Finish with tahini drizzle, seeds and macadamias. Optional: sprinkle with dukkah for extra crunch.
